Daisy Tate VSSN - Growing on the Vine
In this insightful episode of Growing on The Vine, host Chris Ryan sits down with Daisy Tate, the Board Chair of the Veteran Supplemental Support Network. Based in Temecula, VSSN has been a dedicated resource for military and veteran families since 2013. Daisy provides a "30,000-foot overview" of the organization’s mission, emphasizing that they do not duplicate existing government services. Instead, they focus on "filling the gaps"—the small but critical logistical hurdles like transportation failures or short-term housing delays that often lead to major crises for veterans. Daisy shares a powerful "thought map" of the veteran journey, illustrating how uncertainty can lead to isolation and a delay in seeking help. She highlights the specific challenges of the civilian workforce, noting that employment support isn't just about getting a job, but about "translating" military skills so employers understand their value and veterans can retain their positions. The episode also highlights the upcoming "Winter Wonderlane" event on December 11th at the Temecula Promenade, a massive community celebration designed to honor and connect veteran families. Listeners will walk away with a better understanding of how the community can provide a stronger safety net simply by starting with a "hello."

While foster care agencies manage the legal and placement aspects of a child’s journey, Rose Again focuses on "filling the gaps" providing the emotional and material support that the state system often overlooks. Julie highlights the foundation’s "A Book of Their Own" initiative, emphasizing the psychological importance of foster children owning something brand-new rather than a hand-me-down. She shares heartbreaking yet inspiring stories of children who arrive at new homes with nothing but a trash bag, and how the foundation steps in with "comfort stuff" new clothes, weighted blankets, and even birthday cakes. Beyond immediate needs, Julie explains their commitment to long-term success through tutoring programs and the "Thrive" program, which supports youth aging out of the system. The episode also features a powerful success story of a former foster child turned foundation employee, illustrating how the community’s investment creates a cycle of giving back. Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of the foster care landscape and actionable ways to support these resilient children.
